  3. For each SES measure (i.e. household income and parental education) the following four models where carried out adjusted for confounders (no. siblings, parents cohabitation status & ethnicity):
  4. Model 1: Individual SES measure and perceived stress.
  5. Model 2: Individual SES measure + life events.
  6. Model 3: Individual SES measure + active and avoidance coping.
  7. Model 4: Individual SES measure + life events, active and avoidance coping.
